The Story of The Russian: Zdravstvujte
A couple years ago was the only time I dated someone who didn’t fit easily into the relationship or the casual sex category. I have been on exactly four second dates in my entire life. Three of them were with guys I entered long-term relationships with. The fourth one was with The Russian.
It was on my way to work the year I lived in New York City. I always stopped at Bergen Bagels before going on the 2-3 subway line into the city. That day I was wearing a loooong pink bias-cut skirt that added extra sashay to my hips and extra confidence in my shoulders.
